Chapter 341 The Peach Picker (6/10)


    At this cocktail party, in addition to friends and partners, there were also a few uninvited guests.


    There are Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Detzky, Josh Epstein who came with Kunas, and Usher who was brought by Scooter. Minam came over to join in the fun for 50 cents.


    ??Little Kunas is the vice president of Atlantic Records Distribution Company and cooperates with Link Music. He came on behalf of Atlantic Records, and the other four people came completely uninvited.


    “Hey, Link, congratulations on your album’s success. You did a great job singing.”


    ?Little Kunas said with a watery smile.


    Not looking at him when he spoke, his gray-green eyes stared directly at the beautiful Miss Ivaca with undisguised covetousness.


    “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kunas!”


    ?Link smiled faintly, intertwined their fingers with Ivaca, and stood side by side, like a couple.


    Comparing with the two of them, the little Kunas are tall, short, fat and thin, with small eyes, big mouths, drug-addicted faces, kidney-deficient faces, greasy faces, and so on.


    “Eva, we know how much Link Music is worth, but in addition to having money, we will also provide Link Music with media, advertising and other resources. These resources are priceless. I think this is a good deal.”


    "Mr. Peltz, celebrities rely on fame and publicity to sell their items. What you say is like assuming that Van Gogh is not famous and that his paintings have a similar price to your paintings. This assumption is interesting but meaningless. "


    “100 million US dollars!”


    “Haha, Eva Link, Peter is joking, don’t mind.”


    ?The drug-addicted Peter Peltz looked at Link arrogantly, as if he didn''t take him seriously.


    "I''ve said before that this kind of talk is useless to Link. He has heard it a lot and is used to it. We might as well get straight to the point."


    ?Peter Peltz and the other three exclaimed.


    ?Someone named Luther Detzky said.


    ??Little Kunas said.


    ??Only little Epstein had his arms folded, with a half-smiling expression on his long and narrow face.


    ?David Zuckerman said.


    “It’s okay, I’ve seen this kind of comments too many times on the Internet, they’re quite interesting.”


    “Eva, we are not fools, don’t think of us as being taken advantage of.”


    ?? Peter Peltz and the four others'' expressions suddenly dropped when they heard her words. Others would say bad things behind their backs, but Ivaca exposed them directly to their faces without giving them any face. It was so irritating.


    ?Peter Peltz still didn’t quite understand what was interesting when he heard what he said.


    When Iwaka spoke, her expression was calm, her voice was as usual, and she didn''t care how many people heard her.


    “Link Music is worth less than 500 million, and you want 100 million for 10% of the shares. Eva, are you blackmailing?”


    “The current market value of link music is 480 million!”


    ?David Zuckerman said.


    “Interesting? What’s interesting?”


    ?His father is the president of EMS Advertising Company and advertising industry tycoon Donnie Detzky.


    Ivaca asked with her thin eyebrows furrowed.


    Iwaka raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, and told Link that although these four guys came from good backgrounds, it was a pity that they did not cherish the resources they once had, did some stupid things, and were disliked by their families, so they had We don’t have the resources we want, but we can still consider them if they are their brothers and sisters.


    “Oh, how much money do you have?”


    ?? Before Kunas could finish speaking, Ivaca raised a jade finger and said, "For 100 million U.S. dollars, I will sell you 10% of the shares."


    “Evaka, we are all friends and we also want to play in the music industry. Link Music is doing well. We are going to invest in Link Music. What do you think?”


    ??An ugly guy who doesn’t speak well, but his sarcastic remarks basically did zero harm to Link, and he even felt like laughing.


    “What’s wrong with you?”


    “Humph, it’s just relying on marketing and hype to sell records. It’s nothing special. Without those means, we wouldn’t be able to sell a million copies.”


    First of all, Link Music was founded two years ago. At the beginning of 2009, it was only worth 10 million. At the end of 2009, it was worth 280 million. Now it is worth nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, doubling every year.


    ??Evaka said.


    “I’m very busy and don’t have time to joke with you. One hundred million is not a random quote, but Link Music is worth it.


    ?Peter Peltz felt very unhappy when he saw that he could still laugh when he was being ridiculed.


    ?Link chuckled.


    At the current pace, we are confident that the company will reach 1 billion in three years and 2 billion US dollars in five years. If you invest 100 million US dollars now, in another five years, the income will more than double. This is definitely a great deal. investment. "


    "100000000?!"


    ?Hearing this mean voice, Link immediately guessed that the other person was someone A who was constantly sarcastic to him in the Broadway theater that day.


    ?The speaker was Person B, David Zuckerman, a young man with a slightly fat body and small eyes. He was holding a champagne glass and looking at the beauties at the party boredly.


    “Forty million, according to the current market value of link music, how about giving us 10% of the shares?”


    “Well, Eva, we are all friends, but the four Peters are in a bit of trouble right now.”


    ?Link pulled Ivaca who was about to speak and smiled carelessly.


    Ivaca said in a calm voice.


    ?Peter and the others wanted to refute, but after thinking about it seriously, they found that what Ivaca said was not an exaggeration.


    ?At the beginning of 2009, there was a joke among the wealthy circles in New York. Ivaka of the Thompson family founded a music company and was preparing to enter the music industry across industries.


    After hearing the news, everyone was laughing at Ivaca, saying that she didn''t understand music and record operations, so she invested money in an unfamiliar field, which would definitely make the Thompson family''s poor economic situation worse.


    ?Some people think that Evaka has worked in the family group for several years and founded several brands. She has good abilities and may be able to do something.


    But the competition in the music industry is fierce, and it would take at least five years for an outsider like her to start a new record company.


    ??But no one expected that Link Music, a small and broken company, would be a big hit.


    The first album sold six to seven million copies worldwide.


    The second album directly sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The third album is even more impressive, with a conservative estimate of 20 million.


    ??Also, the singers under Link Music are all talented and all sing well. Any album they release will be platinum, as if they are on the forefront of the music market.


    The market value of Link Music has changed every half a year, from 10 million at the beginning of 2009 to 280 million at the end of 2009, and expanded to 480 million in June 2010.


    too exaggerated.


    If this situation continues, it is entirely possible for Iwaka to achieve a market value of 1 billion within three years as he said.


    Investing 100 million seems to be a good deal at this time.


    “Eva, your statement is too idealistic, as if you are living in a vacuum without obstacles. First of all, if Link Music develops too fast, it will inevitably compete with the five major record groups. They will not let Link Music develop.


    ?Secondly, Mr. Baker said not long ago that he would retire from the music scene after releasing two albums. Without him, how much value would link music have? "


    ?Little Epstein said in a lazy voice.


    “The first point can be completely avoided through commercial operations, such as in-depth cooperation with the five major records and the introduction of shares of the five major records.


    The second point is that Link will no longer release albums. He will have more time to focus on the singers under Link Music and create more best-selling albums for them. He will also have more time to select and train new singers. Instead, I think Link''s music will develop faster if Link retires from the music scene. "


    Ivaca said calmly.


    ?It sounds reasonable to a few people.


    ?Link is considered to be the golden touch in the music industry and has a first-class eye for selecting people. If he concentrates on selecting and cultivating singers, there will be a steady stream of best-selling singers under Link Music in the future, and the market value of Link Music will continue to rise.


    “One hundred million is too much, we don’t have that much money.”


    “Then let’s talk about it after you have enough funds.”


    ??Iwaka said hello and walked towards the crowd holding Link''s arm.


    Looking at the backs of the two people leaving hand in hand, the faces of the few people left behind varied.


    ??Little Kunas looked at Ivaca''s **** and graceful figure, and her fingers intertwined with Link''s, the posture was very intimate, and her heart felt like a knife.


    "How could Iwaka do this? Link is the major shareholder of Link Music, not her. If she agrees to our investment, we will be able to fully control this company together in the future. I think she should be with us, not Link is an outsider."


    ?? Greasy-faced Luther Detzky said.


    “Hmph, she probably thought of herself as Link’s wife, but it’s a pity that Link is a scumbag and she made the wrong bet.”


    ?Peter Peltz said.


    “What should we do now? Do we still need to invest in link music? We don’t have that much money at all.”


    ?David Zuckerman asked.


    "We came to talk to Link about cooperation with good intentions, but unfortunately they didn''t accept it. Then we will arrange a few romantic encounters for him according to the original plan. As long as we can catch him, he will obediently hand over the link music. shares.”


    ?Little Epstein sneered.


    “Okay, let’s do it!”


    ?A few people looked at each other and laughed.


    —


    “I’m sorry for wasting a few minutes with you over there with me.”


    ?At the cocktail party, Eva pulled him and said softly.


    “No, every second I spend with you is meaningful. I will never feel bored or wasted.”


    Ivaca glanced at him and smiled with her lips curved.


    “Although Peter and the others are not valued in their family, they are in the same New York business district, and my company and Link Music also have cooperative relationships with several of their subsidiaries, so even though I hate them, I can’t ignore them.”


    “I understand. Seeing you fight one against five, overwhelming them with your momentum and IQ, as your boyfriend, I feel great.”


    “Thank you. When you see the young Kunas trying to divide the link music, do you think the upper class people are insidious and shameless?”


    Ivaca asked softly.


    Link shook his head. No matter what era or country there is, there will always be a group of lazy second-generation people who are good at stealing the fruits of victory from others. He has seen and heard too many tricks like this, so he is not surprised.


    “On the contrary, after seeing the performance of several of them, I feel that you are even more valuable. You are a great woman.”


    ?Link took her hand and said seriously.


    “I’ll give you another five points!”


    Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and said.


    “How many points do I have now?”


    “Five points!”


    “Hmm? I remember adding ten points before.”


    “So you are ten points negative.”


    Ivaca pulled her hair around her ears and smiled.


    ?Link reluctantly accepted the reality.


    “Hey, Iwaka, Link!”


    Paris Hilton and several celebrities came over, looked at the two of them and smiled, "Ivaca, isn''t it enough that you and Link are tired of being together every day? Can you lend him to us? We all want to know Link How powerful is it?”


    “Yes, I heard that Link can do push-ups for three hours straight. I really want to see if it’s true.”


    “I also want to see Link do push-ups.”


    ?Several other ladies also laughed.


    “No problem! Look at it and use it as you like!”


    ??Evaka pushed Link and smiled.


    ?Link shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that several people had helped him, he could only bite the bullet and deal with it.
